Property rights conference to present local and national issues Annual conference slated for Oct. 22 in Latham By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
STONY CREEK — How rural and urban citizens are fighting governmental actions and restrictions to retain their homes, businesses and land rights will be in the spotlight
at the 20th annual conference of the Property Rights Foundation of America — an organization with national influence that’s based in Stony Creek. This year’s edition of the conference, which annually draws about 100 people from across the nation, is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday Oct. 22 at The Century House, 997 New Louden Road (Rte. 9) in Latham. Yearly, the conference examines aspects
and case studies of land use restrictions and how property owners’ rights are threatened — and what can be done in response. Headlining the program will be Glens Falls Attorney Dennis Phillips, talking about his recent court success versus the state of New York in an ongoing case concerning a group of landowners’ private property rights versus the public’s right to paddle down a waterway adjacent to a state-owned wilderness in the
Adirondacks. Also speaking at the conference will be William Perry Pendley, Chief Counsel for the Mountain States Legal Foundation of Lakewood Colo., who has taken on high-profile property rights cases nationwide and won several U.S. Supreme Court cases involving private property rights. >> See PROPERTY | pg. 19

GLENS FALLS — Dozens of high-profile Republicans rescinded their support of Donald Trump over the weekend after an audio tape revealed the presidential candidate bragging about groping women using vulgar language. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was not among them. “Donald Trump’s inappropriate, offensive comments are just wrong - No matter when he said them or whatever the context,” Stefanik said on Friday. “I hope his apology is sincere.” Stefanik’s Democratic opponent Mike Derrick was quick to seize on her comments, branding Stefanik as a “party loyalist” and an “establishment sellout” for her continued support of the Republican nominee, which he called “downright reprehensible.” “How in the world can she support a presidential candidate >> See NY-21 | pg. 19
